@isabelitavirtual Connects with Beauty at the Haute Couture Shows in Paris
For more behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the haute couture shows last week in Paris, follow @isabelitavirtual and @wmag on Instagram.
Isabel Martinez (@isabelitavirtual), a copywriter who lives in Barcelona, first picked up a camera when she joined Instagram in 2011. For last week’s haute couture week in Paris, she collaborated with W Magazine (@wmag), shooting at shows from Valentino (@maisonvalentino) to Dior (@dior). “One day, Melvin Sokolsky told me, ‘Only beauty can save the world.’ That’s precisely why I love fashion,” Isabel says. “It’s a way to connect with beauty, a way to connect with poetry and a way to connect with myself,” she says.
In Paris, Isabel captured her favorite photo backstage at the Viktor & Rolf (@viktor_and_rolf) show. “The model is hidden behind the dress she’s wearing,” Isabel says. “She doesn’t look at the camera, but sometimes to be hidden is the best way to show you.”

Which one would you wear?
A carefully tailored and well structured blazer can make an outfit look overall polished despite the layer underneath. Pair it with a peach or nude jeans and some killer heels and you've got yourself a day to night look. Just remove the blazer and dance your way through the night. Good luck!
Perfect if you're still experiencing summer. Pair your neon coloured shorts with a graphic tee, complete it with sunglasses and a purse and you're ready to go. Make sure to choose your shoes carefully! Good luck!
(squeals) This top should be a staple for any occasion. Pair it with a skirt and you look classy and sophisticated. Pair it with worn-out denim and you are looking stylish and on-the-go. Whichever it is, you would still look 100% polished. Good luck mixing and matching, love!
Protect yourself from cold weather this season with a knitted sweater. Layer it with your favourite neutral top and some jeans, and you are never gonna get cold again. It pays to be a little cold though, to have that romantic moment with your beau. Good luck!
(nom nom nom) Who wouldn't love a plaid polo shirt over a loose oversized tank top? Pair it with denim and ankle boots, and you're good to go. Sexy, laid back and oh-so-fashionable! While you're at it, grab your beanie and batt those glorious eyelashes. Good luck!
Since it is #FashionFridays and I have not been able to post an entry since the typhoon, I'm gonna start with a bang and a video courtesy of Claire Marshall. She has been one of those few fashion vloggers (emphasize on the v) who has really set high standards when it comes to showcasing fashion. The best thing about her is that she makes it plain and simple. The video will show you how she does it and trust me, if you love fashion, you're definitely gonna be a fan.
Who said going to work has to be made up of early lattes and business suits? Be chic and comfy at the same time with your favourite slacks and sleeveless top. Bring your go-to blazer for a professional look in case of meetings and office protocol. Other than that, you're good. Fashion is not a crime, love. Own it.
Cover up during daylight with your printed cardigan jacket. Those old things your grandma gave you? Those huge ill-fitting sometimes-too-big jackets? You can style it up if you want. Now's the time to let your creativity loose.
Who doesn't love off-shoulders? It covers you up without looking like an old hag and it's always in! Pair it with jeans and you look comfy and casual. If it's with a skirt, you're looking prim and proper. It's all about the styling.
We all love effortless style. It's perfect for any errands. Now, you don't have an excuse to not look good. If you're planning to go to the store, just throw on your favourite blazer and look instantly polished.
